Janie Bryant, the costume designer for AMC's beloved small-screen hit, Mad Men, not only outfitted the star-studded cast in glamorous 1960s looks, but also worked alongside Banana Republic on three collections inspired by the series. Currently, she's developing a reality fashion competition show, titled Janie Bryant's Hollywood, with E.J. Johnston and James Deutch, the co-creators of NBC's Fashion Star. And this time she will actually get in front of the cameras.

"Each week, the contestants have the challenge of producing a modern garment inspired by one of my favorite films," she explained. "The show really is a statement on how the fashion and costume design worlds really are becoming much smaller".

Here, as we near the final season of Mad Men (early 2014), Bryant gives us her answers to our weekly questionnaire.

What is your favorite smell?

Peonies, magnolia blossoms, and the true southern bell in me loves the smell of a hot, humid summer night with just a hint of skunk in the air. This question is really hard because I love so many smells. But what's really funny is that I have the worst sense of smell so anything that is super strong is good for me.

How do you define luxury?

Traveling to an exotic location on a beach with 75-degree water that's as clear and blue as the perfect sky while staying at a five-star boutique hotel and having every whim and desire met. My favorite boutique would have to be Deia Majorca. We stayed in the most beautiful hotel called La Residencia. It was just incredible and they do not know the meaning of "no." It's remarkable.

Describe your home's aesthetic.

My home's aesthetic is about eclectic beauty, and I'm always inspired by anything that's French and Liberace. I am working with interior designer Kara Smith and we are in the process of re-designing my bedroom. She is one of the designers at SFA Designs in Los Angeles. I'm in the process of turning my bedroom into a modern, glamorous Hollywood regency.
